Success and Solitude

Success and Solitude seem
As two side of a coin
Success is an irony!
It brings you an illusory happiness
To veil your eyes
As it cunningly steals something real
From behind your back

For every success
There is a contest
For every winner
There are a dozen losers

The winner stands alone
Tasting glory
The losers stand below
Together and applaud

The applause, the fame
Doesn’t last forever
And when the world goes around again
Standing alone on a pedestal
Silent thoughts come and go…
Success goes to the head they say
And Solitude attacks the heart!


For every success
There are a dozen sacrifices
For every winner
There must be few behind
For whom winning is never an aim
For every winner
There must be few behind
For whom the reward was only compromise
For every sound of a clap
There is a stifled sob somewhere
For every winner going forward
There must be few left behind

Success is toughest
On those left behind.

~ Aishwarya Raman

I walk along the shores of time...
look back at the waves and smile
one tide at a time...
this too shall pass

in memory of
the last thought that skims past the eyes...
eyes fluttering
light to dark... dark to light...

with every flutter the mind hops
between bliss and longing
between interpretation and truth
between dreams and reality
between sleeping and staying awake..

the night comes by, yet again
the lights go off, yet again
and there with open arms sleep awaits...

Sleep

I asked for the Moon to brighten my days
but she hid behind the Sun.

I asked for the Sun to lighten my nights
but he headed East

Goodbye

Everyday just like another
hapless and not knowing what to do!

Enough!! I have had it!!
time to pass on,
my oath is to be rude,
to every soul who betrays me,
I care less you are close or near.

I have pretended long enough,
been nice and caring,
done things I seldom wanted to do

Now, I have time only for myself.
Selfish I shall be
Self centered you may call
less do I care,
I no longer am the plastic puppet.

I cared, I reasoned out myself
less did it bother
seldom did it matter
and the fool I was, who counted every moment.

I am the world
I am myself
the ego has just levitated another face,
another face of the dark diamond.

Friend you bother me much,
a special place you held
close to the wonderful retrospection
my clock just unwound

Memories are lapsed
ambitions and goals to be met
say good bye and you shall be spared
lest, seldom do I care!

I shall regress to the foe you never had.
a beautiful day tomorrow, the new beginning
I just wish, I spare none.

Whats on your Mind ?!

There is plenty to worry about...
One less if you have an opinion on me !!!
dont cloud me with your thoughts...

The writer within...

I miss my self...
I miss the writer within me...
I feel shallow without words...

I miss him much and he came to me
I found him on a train ride home
Smiling, happy, content and bursting with energy
he was there my reflection on the window

My Limit

everyone believes in what they want....
everyone does what they believe is right..
everything they do is right for someone dear to them...
everything right is not always good...
good for the most part is always better...
better is not always enough for many ...
enough is a limit I never set...
